A third of our oil comes from offshore

Post by dan_s »

Of the total U.S. oil production of more than five million barrels a day, about a third comes from the waters of the Gulf of Mexico, California and Alaska. These offshore reserves are vital to the United State's energy security and, despite this tragic accident, must continue to be exploited until economically viable alternative sources of energy are perfected and available.
